had frequently noticed that while the cashier
read paper he held it above his face irl such
way that could easily slip into the vault,
and from that and other instances of carelessness
on the part of the bank officials, he had planned
the robbery. The first thing he did was to pick

buy tin box in which to put it. On
Friday, Sept 16. opportunity came for him
to get large amount of money which, had been

preparation called by the Indians who make 1t
'grashopper cake The way in which it is made
is something like this: When the grasshoppers
are in large numbers the Indians drive them
into a trench in the ground. the bottom of which
is covered with dry grass. When the insects
swarming about in this trench in sufficiently
large numbers, the dry grass is ignited
and the grasshoppers scorched. They
then gathered together and put
into large bag and mixed with the seed of
a certain kind of grass, and are then ready for
pressing into cakes and eating. Ii it were not
for the dirt which always cnaracterizes Indian
cooking, the food would be rather good. The
sweet juices of the grasshoppers make the
preparation quite palatable 1t Is quite COM

Special to the IndiarapoIis Journa.
LONDON. Nov. PA glance at the kilograms
of this week shows that the problems which oc-
cupy the statesmen of Europe are the same to-
day they have been for many months. In
France the stability of the government and per-
haps of the constitution, Is in question. In the
East it is still doubtful whether the threatened
storm has blown In Germany the ill
health of the Emperor, the Empress and the
Crown Prince causes anxiety. The death of the
Emperor and the Crown Prince and both seem
to be nearing their end, would be a great loss to
the German army. as it would leave it without q
rallying figure in the event of war. Both are
idols of the army, and with either at its head
Germany would have little to fear. Nothing
comes out more clearly, from what is known of
the diplomatic activity in the last twelve
months than the change that has taken place
in the relation of of the powers to
Great Britain. Everybody now appears
anxious to be on good terms with England.
No one who is acquainted with the ways of
diplomacy will believe that this change of front
on the part of the powers is accident, or that it
is the result of sentimental regard. The
state of affairs it reveals is signif-
can't The powers have been measuring
each Others strength with a view to possible
troubles The groups into which they fall

it has become evident to both that England. in
spite of the weak points in her
military organization, is able to make the beam
point in whichever direc tion she NAV take. All
the powers, of course, profess TO be anxious,
above all things, for peace. But whether they
will be willing avoid courses that must inev-
itably lead a breach of the peace depends. to
some extent upon their opinion as to what the
policy of Great Britain will be. 1t is
